663 tickets have now been sold. What are you going to do with your BFL single?
Build a better Arduino. What else would you do with a BFL? All wrong, I'll use it for: Packet integrity verification MonteCarlo Calculation support Custom contracted functions There's also some 2 step SHA256 block hash functionality on it, and rumors has it that somebody used it for some sort of mining operation, but hey, nothing beats MonteCarlo simulations!  |

I am just curious how you plan to transfer ownership of the tickets?
By sending an email from the email account used for the ticket purchase (the 'identifier') to both Cablepair and the buyer requesting to change the entry. I don't mind having this email also include my Bit-Pay receipt for confirmation. Even if that doesn't work, there's still a record of it and the new owner can make a claim based on that if anything goes wrong. Not just that, if the new owner doesn't find the SHA of his email address in the final list (we know the method of drawing a winner), then he/she can still search for the SHA of the email address I provided to both the new owner and Cablepair. I can also announce that right in this thread (of course I'd just use forum handles in the thread). OK, I put my tickets up for auction of Bitmit.net: https://bitmit.net/en/trade/i/2416-raffle-tickets-lot-of-3-for-saphire-radeon-hd-7970/descriptionYet another channel of advertising CablePair's raffle.  |

thank you for the positive attitude.
and I mean what I said if anyone has a good idea on how we can promote this raffle better please let me know, I am willing to do what it takes to push this thing and make it go faster.
Cablepair, advertising alone will not do the trick, nor will just keeping a positive attitude. I believe in both of these 'tools', but they are not the solution. I wish you all the best for this raffle! To anyone else following this thread: I have 3 raffle tickets to sell for half price. And for the advertising part of my announcement: This is 1) a super price 50% off, 2) it improves your chances to win (since it reduces mine by 3 tickets). The chances for profit are likely still higher than buying defaulted debts in the lending section. PM if interested. |

The silence from the OP makes me question the authenticity of this raffle.. I think its time I ask for a refund..
+1 I would have given him the chance to end this gracefully (by setting an END DATE), but since there's no response and "do nothing" is no the "honest" option, I second this request. This raffle is dead in the water, no positive pep talk or ad campaign will change that, sorry! |

345 Tickets have been purchased so far. What are you going to do with your new BFL single?
Yes, and some are mine.  What am I going to do with it? Hmm, I guess I'll try to use it for Bitcoin mining |

Yet another BFL thread to subscribe to.
Looks promising!

Similarly the 12V from the PCIe has a 2.6A fuse which is a reasonable limit for PCIe operation. If customers want this latter fuse can simply not fitted when we build boards forcing all the current through the DD connector. That likely is optimal. While 30W on PCIe board is within the spec someone building a rig with 8 board likely will overload the PCIe bus. We have seen this w/ GPUs. The solution is to use powered PCIe extenders to reduce the load on motherboard VRMs. Having a board draw no 12VDC from the PCIe connector bypasses that entire issue. The optimal board would be PCIe 1x (allows max # of boards per rig) PCIe 6 pin power connector at least 4 (preferrably 6) Spartan-6 150 FPGAs "beefy" 12VDC power supply. A 6 Spartan board using current bitstreams could acheive ~1.2 GH/s per board @ ~50 - 60W. Using the hand placed 3 loop bitstream (will need to be purchased) a 6 spartan board could achieve ~1.5 GH/s (possibly up to 1.8 GH/s with improvements) @ ~60W to 70W. I'd definitely consider buying the 6 Spartan version. |

So Cablepair, what will it be? I suggest you define an end date, pick the block hash after that end date and use that method to determine a winner: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=77442.0That method works even with non-continuous ticket numbers. Otherwise I'll ask you to refund my BTC. At this point I don't think any amount of advertising will sell all the tickets (unless you buy them yourself). And I hope others will start to make requests to determine an end date for this and have some decision. |

If the winner could please contact me via PM so that I can verify they own the email address, I would appreciate it.
We have a mining contract to fulfill!
Thanks to everyone for playing and I wanted to ask you guys a question.......
Would you be interested in a raffle for a BFL single?
Yes, please! |

Is 542 lower?
nope. 439350876daf0f6b178b3e7cdef71734ae2aa75a53018dfcd31856a012e1e90b You may look up your hash in the last column of giga's table. If it's lower than 0055296d8aa76dbde18c60689305bdb96d68bcfe639d1faceceacf50c7e38f18 you win (hint: look at the leading zeros!) Note: that's why I'm saying: Gigavps, just sort the table by the last column ascending! |

I think we should also give a prize for the highest hash. Just as impressive (or likely) as the lowest one: fffbfd600aa2d0e0eb2ee5439a91865cceb96b3505a235c57d24a3b945ff9b4f Ticket holder 402 a preliminary congrats (no prize though)! 'tis a good point. I'll kick giga a BTC to pay the highest hash. It was yours, man??? |

2.6521595618380127e+59 Pretty low, I guess
Your exp10 numeric representation is hard to text search for in the list BTW... |
|
|

Then a preliminary congrats to you! Your 10BTC 20 tickets seem to have paid off! |

can't you just sort the table by the last column, so the winner is clearly seen?

Block 177473 has arrived! Here are the results -> http://pastebin.com/Tgv098AW5 columns now (ticket number, email hash, ticket number hash, blockHash, final hash) The final hash was calculated by: sha(sha(email) + sha(ticketNumber) + hashOfBlockFound) Let's see who won! I thought it was: sha(sha(email) + sha(ticketNumber) + sha(hashOfBlockFound)) edit: nvm OP had it as posted. No need to sha() the hashOfBlockFound, it's already sha(). |
